Joe Biden has been an good President. He came in after an election that will go down in the ages as a debacle created by Trump. And he will not let it go away. What transpired also displayed the deep problems we have in this country with racism, bigotry, anti-semitism, misogyny and any other ism that can be used to blame one group or another for someone's or some groups problems. It's an old trick that has been used again and again. The crazy thing is, people still fall for it.
   Trump will not let go. Not with the numbers he is able to poll. He knows there are those out there who will follow him over a cliff. He doesn't care and he has never cared for anyone or anything. He has proved that with his business history, for those who would take the time to read about his many failures. Trump is a classic. He doesn't use his own money and his failures are littered with the people who trusted him and followed him into bankruptcies.
   Trump is a street thug and Joe Biden is a decent guy. He is no match for Donald Trump no matter whet he thinks. But it is not just the election. If by some miracle were Joe Biden to win this election, There will still remain the followers and sycophants to Trump. All the little brown shirts who worship Trump will still be in the Senate and House. Because Donald Trump is not just a person, he has become an icon for all of the previous mentioned woes of this country.
   He has created a legacy not to be proud of, but he is. He has made his mark in history and he will not be denigrated by it. He cannot and will not allow his name to be anything other that the leader of a new movement.
   Joe Biden is not ready for this kind of battle.
   I am not sure that anyone on the A list is ready for what Trump and his minions are planning for their vision of the new America. Fascism does not happen overnight. You do not go to bed and wake up the next morning to a fascist government. It is a slow drip, drip, drip of your individual rights taken by those who know better what is good for you.
   Fascist leaders, by themselves are not powerful people. Their power is derived from a group who will do their bidding. Power is intoxicating and those in Washington who support Trump can smell the scent of power. If they get it, they will not let it go without a fight.
   This is no place for 80 year old leaders, including Trump. But the party backing him know that and they know he will not be around for the long term. But they will have the power and position and then it will be too late. If Trump is allowed to be in power, NATO will be at risk. He will be the friend of his hero fascist leaders.
   The Democratic Party has to get tough and be in the fight, if it is not too late. These developments should have been recognized years ago and prepared for.
   Does Joe Gotta Go? That depends on who they are going to replace him with.
Right now I am not seeing it.
